I am using ui-router for nested states & views. When I click on the link, the URL changes to the URL for the substate, but the template does not load.
For exampl
First of all change file name project.settings.html
in templateurl and file name to projectSettings.html
(remove dot).
.state('project.settings', {
url: "/settings",
views:{
"content":{templateUrl: "partials/projectSettings.html"},
"header":{templateUrl: "partials/header"}
}
})
Add two divs in the project template to load the sub pages (header abd projectSettings)
Note: Any content in this divs will be replaced with the page loaded here.
project.html
<div ng-controller="userController">
<div class="details">
<a ui-sref=".settings" class="btn btn-primary">Settings</a>
</div>
<div ui-view="header">( Project Page header will replace with projectSettings header )</div>
<div class="container" ui-view="content">( Project Page content will replace with projectSettings Content )</div>
</div>
I had the same issue and the solution was to place ui-view to your parent's template. Because your partials also need a too, if they will be loading a template from a child state. See here https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#issue-my-templates-are-not-appearing--loading--showing
If using nested views with UI-router, be sure to add ui-view into the html of the parent page and include specific named views.
I had the same issue, the solution was; open the project.html file (which is the parent page) and wrap everything within <ui-view>
So, replace these:
<div ng-controller="userController">
<div class="details">
<a ui-sref=".settings" class="btn btn-primary">Settings</a>
</div>
</div>
with these:
<ui-view>
<div ng-controller="userController">
<div class="details">
<a ui-sref=".settings" class="btn btn-primary">Settings</a>
</div>
</div>
</ui-view>
and you will be good to go ;)
Your nested project.settings state needs to address the view in the higher state explicitly using an '@' suffix, ie.:
.state('project.settings', {
url: "/settings",
views:{
"content@":{templateUrl: "partials/project.settings.html"},
"header@":{templateUrl: "partials/header"}
}
})
See more details here https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/wiki/Multiple-Named-Views#view-names---relative-vs-absolute-names
Use ui-sref="project.settings"
for link in project.html
template.
